Original question and givens

Use the complete directed vertex carrier Fin(5)={0,…,4} and canonical ordered-pair edges=[[0, 1], [1, 2], [1, 3], [2, 3], [2, 4], [3, 4], [4, 0], [4, 1]]. (u,v) and (v,u) are different edges; duplicate same-direction edges are forbidden. The main model is loop-free simple with n≥1; only the explicit loop-boundary audit temporarily accepts loops to demonstrate rejection of that main convention. Supplied vertex list walk=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0]. Give (walk, step_checks, all_oriented_steps_present, boundary).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source operation=digraph-directed-walk-audit;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[walk, step_checks, all_oriented_steps_present, boundary]

Conditions: none

Keep the historical interface marker in the original snapshot while listing source fields here without JavaScript or external lookup.Labels are not mathematical evidence,and No retains its source claim scope.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL complete directed carrier Fin(5);ORIGINAL lexicographically canonical ORDERED arcs=[[0, 1], [1, 2], [1, 3], [2, 3], [2, 4], [3, 4], [4, 0], [4, 1]]

After

all endpoints in range and same-direction arcs unique;actual loops=[];main loop-free directed-set convention qualified

Conditions: none

Check outer from/to order without sorting endpoints inside each arc.(u,v) and(v,u)are distinct and may coexist.The main convention forbids loops;the boundary temporarily accepts them to audit that convention,not to deny other digraph models.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: digraph_ordered_pairs_not_undirected_endpoint_sorting · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL consecutive positions=[0, 1];ORIGINAL directed step=[0, 1]

After

EXACT oriented arc(0,1) present=Yes;reverse arc is a DIFFERENT lookup

Conditions: none

Every step must follow its listed orientation;(b,a)cannot replace(a,b).Do not delete repeated vertices or arcs:a walk is not an additional edge-distinct trail requirement.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: digraph_every_step_exact_orientation_not_reverse_edge · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL consecutive positions=[1, 2];ORIGINAL directed step=[1, 2]

After

EXACT oriented arc(1,2) present=Yes;reverse arc is a DIFFERENT lookup

Conditions: none

Every step must follow its listed orientation;(b,a)cannot replace(a,b).Do not delete repeated vertices or arcs:a walk is not an additional edge-distinct trail requirement.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: digraph_every_step_exact_orientation_not_reverse_edge · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL consecutive positions=[2, 3];ORIGINAL directed step=[2, 3]

After

EXACT oriented arc(2,3) present=Yes;reverse arc is a DIFFERENT lookup

Conditions: none

Every step must follow its listed orientation;(b,a)cannot replace(a,b).Do not delete repeated vertices or arcs:a walk is not an additional edge-distinct trail requirement.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: digraph_every_step_exact_orientation_not_reverse_edge · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL consecutive positions=[3, 4];ORIGINAL directed step=[3, 4]

After

EXACT oriented arc(3,4) present=Yes;reverse arc is a DIFFERENT lookup

Conditions: none

Every step must follow its listed orientation;(b,a)cannot replace(a,b).Do not delete repeated vertices or arcs:a walk is not an additional edge-distinct trail requirement.

Rule: digraph_every_step_exact_orientation_not_reverse_edge · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL consecutive positions=[4, 5];ORIGINAL directed step=[4, 0]

After

EXACT oriented arc(4,0) present=Yes;reverse arc is a DIFFERENT lookup

Conditions: none

Every step must follow its listed orientation;(b,a)cannot replace(a,b).Do not delete repeated vertices or arcs:a walk is not an additional edge-distinct trail requirement.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: digraph_every_step_exact_orientation_not_reverse_edge · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL vertex list=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0];COMPLETE successive-step audit rows=[[0, 1, Yes], [1, 2, Yes], [2, 3, Yes], [3, 4, Yes], [4, 0, Yes]]

After

ALL oriented steps present=Yes;empty/singleton list has no step to refute;NOT an extra nonempty-walk,simple-path or trail certificate

Conditions: none

The flag is only the conjunction of successive-step checks.Empty/singleton lists are vacuous and do not certify a separately required nonempty-walk convention.Neither full-edge coverage nor no-revisit conditions are imposed.

Reverse checks

  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0], [[0, 1, Yes], [1, 2, Yes], [2, 3, Yes], [3, 4, Yes], [4, 0, Yes]], Yes, edge_orientation_must_match)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
